Fusion Pilates

Pilates Fusion incorporates exercises from different workout styles—including barre, yoga, strength training, cardio, and dance—to give a modern twist to Mat Pilates. Similar to Mat Pilates, this style has a deep focus on the core and emphasizes moves that will tone, stretch, and elongate muscles.

Pilates Fusion classes are adaptable to all fitness levels. To adapt the exercises to your level, it is possible to use accessories such as rubber bands, Pilates balls or weights.

This Fusion Pilates class is particularly suitable for women who wish to resume physical activity after pregnancy.

The proposed exercises allow you to:

• Strengthen the abdominal strap,
• Work on the postural muscles in order to limit pain related to bad postures,
• Work on the deep muscles to improve physical strength,
• Strengthen the mind, the ability to concentrate and the harmony of body and mind.

Carried out regularly, this course will allow you to find a calm mind and unparalleled physical comfort.

Tone your lower body with high-repetition mat exercises that engage the core and strengthen the legs and glutes with optional props for added resistance. Focus on mastering form in challenging moves by utilizing the breath and activating muscles with precision. Props Suggested: Pilates ball, resistance bands

Yogalates

Yogalates for a relaxing Mind & Body

Pairing yoga with other disciplines lets you burn more calories than yoga alone, while still getting the benefits of this ancient practice.

A true hybrid discipline between Yoga and Pilates, Yogalates is a discipline that allows you to work on muscle strengthening, posture, balance, flexibility but also the improvement of mental well-being.

The discipline was created in the early 2000s, by Louise Solomon, Australia. At the time, noting many injuries related to the practice of Yoga, the teacher thought about a method that would retain the best benefits of this practice without it being a source of physical injury. She then launched the concept of Yogalates on the basis of several years of experience as a Yoga and Pilates teacher.

Composed of Relaxation and Relaxation phases and active phases, Yogalates classes are different from Yoga or Pilates classes because they put the individual and their needs first and do not focus on performance. The postures are easily accessible for people who have never practiced Yoga and are accompanied by breathing exercises which allow intense relaxation.

Pilates Fusion incorporates exercises from different workout styles — including barre, yoga, strength training, cardio, and dance — to give a modern twist to Mat Pilates. Similar to Mat Pilates, this style has a deep focus on the core and emphasizes moves that will tone, stretch, and elongate muscles.

Concretely, doing Yogalates is:

• Being connected to your body,
• Find physical comfort,
• Learn to manage your breathing,
• Reconnect your body and mind,
• Improve your well-being in general.

To improve comfort during this Yogalates session and optimize the benefits, we recommend:

• To choose a quiet place, where you feel particularly good,
• To provide yourself with a Yoga mat,
• You can also add a touch of sweetness with incense or candles.

Pre-Natal Pilates

While yoga is recognized to have huge benefits during pregnancy, it is very likely that when taught well and modified for pregnancy, both yoga and Pilates can assist women to learn about their body and movement in a way that can help them through the stress and changes of pregnancy. This is way I combine yoga and pilates in Yogalates specially designed for pregnant ladies.

Pilates is a non-impact workout that increases flexibility, strength, and muscle tone, and is safe to practice during pregnancy. Because it focuses on your core, practicing Pilates on a regular basis can improve posture, alleviate backaches, and ultimately help with labor and delivery.

Aim to do 2 sessions of strength-building exercise per week, with at least one day between sessions. If you are just starting, keep your effort at low intensity, building to moderate intensity. Low intensity means you can still talk comfortably while exercising. Be mindful of your breathing.
